Nice cover Temora! Thanks also for your comment.
Another registered with compensation cover:
A 1/ Lyrebird and a 3d brown KGVI paid for registration (6d) and the up to £30 compensation fee (9d). A 2½d Australia Stamp Centenary paid the regular postage rate.
The cover was postmarked 8 NO 50 and was mailed from Penneshaw, South Australia to Adelaide.
Still looking for a 1/3d Hereford.
Best wishes,
AndrewG
